i was out on endor last night hunting to get combatxp up for my swordsman line and i found a glowing lantern bird lair. when i examined them i saw they were heat vulnerable so i took them out at 3k xp each.
then i went to some mission terminals at the smuggler outpost and saw that they pay 10k for each lair. so for all you new commandos, get flame 3 and then head out to endor to watch the xp and cash fly into your lap.

Nice, I've been looking for an alternate to Quenkers. Are they 1 shot kills with FlameSingle2?

no, they are like 2 or 3 shot kills. but when you are getting 2.5-3k xp for each kill, its all good.

I started with savage quenkers, but went to Yavin 4 out of curiosity. Now, it's my favorite place. I run Mawgax Pack Lair missions. There are 4 mobs per spawn wave. The youths give 2300 XP and the adults (male, female, and giant) give 2900 to 3000 XP. I'd soften them up and finish them off with flamesingle2. I ran 4 missions last night and got over 200K XP. That includes taking on mobs near the mission lairs. Apparently, mawgaxes and stindrils don't get along so I try to clear them out before taking on the mission.
The missions pay 9.3 - 9.4 K. Also, they have leathery hide and a good batch just shifted out on my server (999 UT on Valcyn). The meat that shifted in is pretty good, too.
The only other tip I would give is get buffed and a suit of ubese with good kinetic resists.

Sounds like an excellent way to make some cash, wether you're trying to get xp or not.
I mastered commando on War Gronda on Corellia. I ran missions from my home town, a player city. I soloed them easily just using flamesingle2. Those only paid 5K each but I never had to travel and at roughly 20K heavy weapons xp per mission, they piled up fast.
The Endor missions sound enticing though. I could use some easy money!

I tried gleaming lantern bird missions on Endor. My only beef is that most of the missions only had 2 mobs per spawn wave, but that's only from an XP perspective. Can't argue with the money. That last one did have 4. On the way to a mission, I ran into a static spawn of 6 or 7 radiant lantern birds. I was blasting away for like 20 minutes. As got down the last 2, the next wave would spawn and aggro.
And man, there's a lot of heat resistant animals on Endor. I was blasting away at a mature hanadak for couple minutes when I realized that I wasn't putting much of a dent in it. I checked the stats and found 80% heat resist. I ran across something that had 100%.

Once i got flame 4I startedhunting cavern spiders in the geo caves. Theyre vulnerable to heat and i can one shot them most of the time.I get about 3k per kill and they spawn 4 at a time. Its pretty steady xp, the only hard part is getting passed those enhanced kwis.

I've been doing the Mawgax missions on Yavin IV and it is great. A nice change of scenery of Quenkers on Dantooine and more xp. It's good to run into a Mamian Insect Nest. MANY of these spawn and the Females/Males give around 1700xp grouped.

even better, go North from the Smuggler Outpost on Endor, by the "Battle Field" (its broke or something) and just hunt Merrilcks (spelling) or what ever you find, they are a lot of bad a$$ things up north in the bad lands.

best tip for new commandos: throw grenades within the blast radius. It is more accurate there, and it doesn't hurt you!
